Hi all

I have been in Sales / Account Management for the last 10 years or so.

I have always had an interest in PC's and IT in general and can find my way around things fairly easily as long as it does not get too in depth.

At the age of 40, I think it's now or never to try and change my career, in fact, some of you may think I'm past it anyway

Anyway, assuming I am not too late, what is going to be the best qualification to get me started ?
I am in full time employment, so the course would need to be a part time at college or even better, A home study course ?

Hi Paul,
The recommended route is to start with the CompTIA A+, followed by the N+.
These can be self studied - so no need to shell out your hard earned money for training courses.
